Vango says:
The Vango F10 Helium ultralight 2-man tent’s hybrid tunnel design creates a compact and reliable shelter for adventures in the wilderness. The additional width in the 2-man design caters for additional storage for solo adventurers, or a second person sleeping top to toe. TBS® Pro and pre-bend poles deliver exceptional strength and stability. The strategic vents allow for a through flow of air, reducing condensation. Extremely lightweight with a small pack size.
